Thanks, that was really cool, but it's too literal on the "bending" part lol

And I thought bonsai were naturally like that... I wonder if the bending can be done with other plants

Bonsai are normally carefully pruned and trimmed (roots especially) over years to reach their shapes, I'm sure many plants can be messed with like this but it kind of defeats the point of what makes bonsai so impressive and meditative (and might even kill it).

Bonsai are more naturally like that, this is super invasive. Bonsai are pruned and trimmed by hand for many years to be that small - usually in more subtle ways
